This anime is is kind of in a class of it's own. I mean sure there are several anime out there with the whole "I met a demonic main character and now we adventure together" theme but not like this. Neuro is like no other main character of this genre. I fell in love with his sadistic yet almost parental attitude toward the female main character. It's hartwarming yet disterbing at the same time.
The animation is hmmm... quirky yet awesome at the same time, kinda like the anime itself. The mysteries and plot are well thought out (and sometimes even realistic). And even though it's mostly comedy/mystery ther is also a nice touch of gore/horror, not enough to gross a person out but just enough to add a good chill down the spine. The main characters are well thought out and easy to watch and very entertaining. The dialogue had me rolling on the floor and squirting milk out of my nose. Seriously my sides split with laughter!
While there are some filler episodes, they are entertaining enough that they are very easy to wait through without the "just get on with the plot" feeling you get from some other anime *cough* Naruto *cough*.
